These are really cool...

But I want to shed some light on something just to prevent a possible issue, as the last thing I want to do is hamper as FS ad (I can forsee a hassle coming after the sale). It's a crap-shoot when putting used caps from one block, to another. That's why new caps ALWAYS need to be line bored prior to honing. They make the "hole" smaller in ID so there's enough material at the parting lines as the block's registers are not always the same from block to block. Meaning: caps never locate all the same. Now when they are "to size" there's absolutely no margin for error as the caps will be shifted on another block. At work, we have a rack of collected main caps from about 100+ engines. Sometimes, we need to scour through that collection in order to find just one cap to replace a bad one on customer's engine he may have brought us.

Anywho, to even better explain what I just tried to.... take a block and it's caps and try switching them around and see what happens.

They can still be used... but probably would need to be cut quite a bit in order to bring the radius down so you can line bore them.

Were these Mopar Performance parts or factory ? As I have never seen these before.

these are mopar aftermarket main caps, they were available back in the 90's through mopar performance.
